Installing 3D Gel Plates from Aplates is a straightforward process that can significantly enhance your vehicle's appearance. With the right tools and a bit of patience, you can have your new plates installed in no time. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the installation process.

1. Gather Your Tools and Materials Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials on hand. You’ll need a screwdriver, a set of screws or adhesive pads (depending on your preference), a drill (if you’re using screws), and a cleaning cloth. Aplates usually provides the necessary fittings, so check your package for these items.

2. Remove the Old Number Plates Start by removing your existing number plates. If they are attached with screws, use a screwdriver to carefully remove them. For plates attached with adhesive pads, you may need to gently pry them off using a flat tool. Be sure to remove any remaining adhesive residue from the surface of your vehicle to ensure a clean installation of the new plates.

3. Clean the Surface Once the old plates are removed, clean the surface where the new plates will be mounted. Use a cleaning cloth and some mild detergent to remove any dirt, grease, or residue. A clean surface is essential for a secure fit, especially if you’re using adhesive pads.

4. Position the New Plates Carefully align your new Aplates 3D number plates with the mounting holes or the area where you’ll apply the adhesive. Make sure the plates are centered and straight before securing them in place. Take your time during this step to ensure perfect alignment.

5. Secure the Plates If you’re using screws, align the holes in the plates with the existing holes on your vehicle. Insert the screws and tighten them with a screwdriver until the plates are securely fastened. If you’re using adhesive pads, peel off the backing and press the plates firmly onto the cleaned surface, holding them in place for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.

6. Final Inspection Once the plates are installed, step back and check that they are properly aligned and secure. Make sure there’s no movement or wobbling. If everything looks good, your new 3D number plates are ready to hit the road!

In summary, installing your Aplates 3D number plates is a simple process that can be done at home with basic tools. Following these steps will ensure that your plates are securely mounted and ready to enhance your vehicle’s style.
